High Fever
When the body temperature rises from the normal temperature of 37 degrees Celsius, it may be concluded that there is a fever. If it rises to 39 degrees Celsius or higher, it requires the help of a health professional. Fever, however, is not a medical condition. It is a symptom of an infection inside the body, and the immune system is fighting the virus or bacteria penetrating and disrupting the function of the organs. It may occur in different age groups, like infants, children, and adults. Usually, it is not alarming, but when physical responses like shivering, cold, intense shaking, fatigue, constant sweating, and vomiting show together repetitively, medical attention is needed immediately.
Fever may be a symptom of many medical conditions (acute or chronic), such as urinary tract infection, cancer, bronchitis, flu, inflammatory cases (like bronchitis), upper respiratory tract infections, and different types of tumors, pneumonia, appendicitis, and bowel obstruction. Meanwhile, fever may also show its effects through other conditions like rashes (patches of red, black, or white spots in the skin), vomiting, nausea, dizziness, dehydration, and extreme head, muscles, and body pains.
